About Escape Room VR: Gone Man
The game transports you back to England in the 1890s, where confusion, unrest, and restlessness filled the entire 1893 Dickens town. You, as a private detective, head to the abandoned house to investigate an unsolved case from ten years ago after receiving a mysterious letter. Locked closets, mysterious symbols, rustling radios, to find the scattered pieces around and uncover the secrets hidden behind the disappearing portraits. What kind of truth is waiting for you?
A wealthy businessman originally had a happy and harmonious family, living together with his wife and two daughters in a mansion. However, an unfortunate event occurred when the businessman was diagnosed with cancer. Despite seeking medical treatment everywhere, he was helpless and could only turn to the local cult organization. It was said that they had a medicine that could cure any illness. However, the so-called medicine was only incense containing hallucinogenic substances, which would make people feel as if they were cured. Due to their excessive use of hallucinogens, the businessman’s wife went insane and committed suicide by hanging herself. The wealthy businessman himself became insane as a result.
At this point, the cult had already converted the mansion’s basement into a psychedelic mushroom farm, preparing for a ritual sacrifice of live humans. They tempted the crazy businessman with eternal life as a condition for his willingness to be the sacrifice, and used the flesh and blood of his loved ones as part of the ceremony to summon Satan, whom they worshipped. In the end, the ritual “succeeded,” and everyone saw their own version of Satan.
Later, when the protagonist came to investigate the case and entered the mansion, there were still a lot of psychedelic gases due to the continuous propagation of the psychedelic mushrooms. Under the influence of the gas, the protagonist saw many incredible supernatural phenomena, including ghosts, undead, and even the wealthy businessman who had turned into a lump of flesh. The police who had come to investigate the case before became insane due to the large amount of psychedelic gas, so the case was eventually abandoned.

✦ AI summary
Players praise the puzzle design, graphics, and immersive atmosphere of this VR escape room, with most finding it engaging and well-crafted. However, the main complaint is that the game is disappointingly short at just three rooms and roughly an hour of total gameplay, making the price feel steep, and some players report technical issues including persistent sound bugs, controller sensitivity problems, and UI elements that don't stay where you place them. Several reviewers express interest in more content and suggest the developers should expand the game or add multiplayer features to justify
This was AMAZING--BUT--- It was only 3 rooms a 11mins solve time each so worked out to be $15 for less than half an hour waste of money I was really enjoying it but was shocked it was finished after 3 small rooms. Would like to see more content as this really took no time to play and took my wife hours to install so she wasted 4 hours trying to get her meta quest2 to play nice to try play this game as well and then it was over in 25 mins. SO was fun but shockingly shortlivefd, Such a shame.20 found this helpful
This was really amazing, it took me forever to setup as Ravz said. Very enjoyable game but was sad it was over after 3 small rooms. Would love to see more rooms we'd both pay 40-60$ to see a good escape room in particular we havenlt found many VR multiplayer escape rooms - in fact none at the moment on steam so since this game is fairly fresh would love to see something like this as a multi so we could setup private rooms and invite our partner/friends in a 1-4 player max setting. So all in all: Good graphics, cool puzzles, great reveals. Just tooooo damn short! If they could do something like just randomize the puzzles on an infinite amount of levels that would be cool. but I think most of all if any developers reading - be the FIRST to make a COOL multiplayer escape room in vr!9 found this helpful
This is an ok Escape the room game, with id say medium difficulty puzzles in a slightly spooky old time mansion. Game isnt scary but there is one "jumpscare" moment (not really scary), the environment is just a bit spooky but not horror like, just an old and a bit run down mansion. Gone Man is split in 3 rooms which take ~20 min each, depending how good you are at this kind of challenges and finding hidden clues. You can also find hidden coins that i guess are just hidden collectables without any current use. So it currently has around 1hr of gameplay. Puzzles come in different kinds, from relating signs to numbers to pictures, reading a letter and relating that to the environmental clues... or placing the correct item in the intended place. And some puzzles are pretty easy to "brute force" like you find 2 clues and could easily figure the last part by process of elimination and making a few wrong choices. Graphics are quite nice and performance was excellent. Sound was good, (except i could notice the outside weather sfx loop). The game feels a bit janky at times, and currently there are no other options other than standing or sitting (that just moves the height a bit), sti…5 found this helpful
This VR escape room was an awful experience for me. There is a major sound bug where the sound of footsteps starts in chapter one and NEVER stops. I fought through this highly annoying sound and made it to the next chapter only to find out that the footsteps sound returned and once again NEVER stopped. I was done at that point. I posted about this issue in the Steam forum and the developer never responded. This game is also a frustrating experience with the Index controllers because I was constantly dropping items and opening drawers when unintended. Certain items also keep returning to their original position, so you can't lay a readable near a puzzle to reference because it will keep returning to where you found it. There are also only three rooms in this game and they all look and feel the same with similar puzzles. There are also no options at all in the menu. Overall, I ended up not enjoying my time spent with this game and cannot recommend it.1 found this helpful
[h1] Experienced on the Valve Index [/h1] A great puzzle game, I did get stuck a couple of times, I even did one of the puzzles by a random sequence guess on the second attempt. It took me around 90 minute to finish, and I wanted MORE! The world is very well made and it has a good story. You can check out my full spoiler live playthrough here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taUGKkCQ_i8 Best to just play iit for yourself to be honest.1 found this helpful
A good, if somewhat janky, VR Escape room. The final reveal didn't make much sense to me, but I enjoyed solving the puzzles and the creepy vibe
